Questionnaire
We have produced a questionnaire as a source of research into horror films by finding out the views of a variety of people from our selected target audience, 15 to 25 yr olds. We are going to use our questionnaire to find out what type of horror films people like and what they fear in them, this will then help us structure our own teaser trailer that will appeal to our target audience.
Question 1: What is your favourite sub-genre?
Question 2: What do you fear most in horror films?
We discovered when asking people what scares them the most in a horror film, that people are most afraid of Real Life Situations followed by Possessions. This fits in perfectly into our idea for our teaser trailer as we wanted to have a real life situation with a group of friends that get stuck into a situation that they struggle to get out off, this also helps appeal to our audience.

Question 3: How do you prefer the scenarios to be in a Horror?
We found out that in most horror films people prefer Realistic scenarios than Unrealistic, this is probably because people are more afraid of the story if it is true or could become true. From this we are going to make our teaser trailer realistic so it will appeal more to our target audience and it will be more believable and frightening at the thought of it may come true!

Question 4: Which location do you think creates the scariest atmosphere in a horror?
Haunted House Forest School
Basement Old Cabin Abandoned Hospital
We discovered that the majority of the people in our questionnaire thought that the scariest location was the old cabin and the forest, from this we are going to incorporate these locations into our trailer, however we also liked the location of the basement as it can create a horrifying and tortures feel similar the theme of our trailer. However we would like to experiment by using a typically safe location such as a house where you'd go on holiday, which was not chosen by our audience.
